In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share a personal story about a massage experience that sparked a much bigger conversation about clinical decision-making, practitioner ego, and why the lower leg deserves far more attention than it typically gets. I unpack the anatomy of the calf, the role of fluid congestion, nerve entrapment, and compartmental relationships. I also walk through the exact sequence I use to assess and treat the lower leg in my clients.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why lower leg congestion can influence pain, mobility, and treatment outcomesThe key anatomical regions I assess before doing deep tissue calf workHow I sequence lower leg treatment to improve lymphatic, venous, and neural functionA practical framework for combining patient priorities with assessment findingsThis episode is a reminder that assessment should guide treatment, not habit, routine, or practitioner preference, and will challenge you to think differently about both the information your clients give you and the information their bodies are trying to communicate.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 3: Swelling Reduction Protocol That Works Like MagicEp. 8: Unlocking The FibulaEp. 14: The Stories We Tell: A Lesson From My Compartment SyndromeEp. 18: Lessons From My Back Surgery - Part 1Ep. 19: Lessons From Back Surgery - Part 2Ep. 20: Reflexive Core Stability: Lessons From My Back Surgery - Part 3Ep. 25: The Peripheral HeartEp. 37: Swelling Protocol UpdateEp. 47: Always Check The Distal PulsesEp. 53: Shin Splints: Beyond Overtraining & Rest - Complete GuideEp. 138: The Link Between Potassium and Shin SplintsEp. 149: Rethinking the Popliteus in Knee RehabCheck out the Swelling Reduction Protocol Course Here!Learn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming courses=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.

Professor Andrew Bayliss describes the "brutal barracks life" of Spartan education, beginning at age seven. Boys endured physical hardship and were encouraged to steal food to prepare for combat. Women also underwent athletic training to produce strong warriors. This rigorous system created a highly disciplined citizen elite.457 AMBROSIAN ILIAD

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I had a chat with my good friend and colleague, Missy Bunch, on an Instagram live to unpack one of my favorite shoulder assessment clues: the armpit.  We explore how scapular upward rotation, serratus anterior function, and glenohumeral hypermobility all influence what you see and feel during shoulder assessment. You'll hear why many people appear to have full shoulder range of motion while quietly borrowing mobility from the wrong place, how serratus anterior dysfunction can hide in plain sight, and what happens when those compensations are left unchecked for years.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why a missing armpit can be a sign of poor scapular upward rotationThe relationship between the scapula, serratus anterior, and glenohumeral joint mechanicsHow to assess scapular upward rotation and identify common compensationsA simple exercise I use to retrain scapular mechanics and improve upward rotationThe shoulder rarely works in isolation, and this episode will help you better assess shoulder function while understanding how small changes in scapular mechanics can create significant differences in long-term outcomes.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 16: Why The Shoulder Comes LastEp. 17: A New Picture Of Shoulder MechanicsEp. 69: Why Your Shoulder Treatments Might Not Be EnoughEp. 140: Why Acute Shoulder Pain Isn't Always a Shoulder ProblemEp. 159: Long Thoracic Nerve Palsy: Anatomy, Assessment & RecoverySave 50% on my course - Never Treat The Shoulder First (use code ARMPIT or ARMPITS)Save 50% on my course w/ Missy - The Nerve Workshop (use code ARMPIT or ARMPITS)Learn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming courses=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share the case of a Navy SEAL candidate with severe scapular winging and progressive serratus anterior paralysis after months of failed treatment. I walk through the anatomy of the long thoracic nerve and serratus anterior in detail, including the entrapment sites, fascial relationships, and neural connections that can completely change how you assess and treat these cases. I also share how integrating neural manipulation, visceral treatment, mobility work, and targeted strengthening helped this athlete regain function far faster than expected.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The most common entrapment locations for the long thoracic nerve and why they matter clinicallyHow cervical compression, thoracic outlet mechanics, and breathing patterns may contribute to scapular wingingWhy upward rotation mobility is just as important as strengthening in serratus anterior rehabPractical strategies for restoring upward rotation strength, scapular control, and thoracic mobilityThis case is a great example of why treating the body as a whole organism instead of isolating a single muscle or diagnosis can completely change clinical outcomes. Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 99: Navigating The Complex Case Of Diaphragm ParalysisMy Online Course I Mentioned - The Nerve Workshop with Missy Bunch and Anna HartmanMy Online Shoulder Course - Never Treat The Shoulder FirstLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming courses=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.

On today's episode we're focusing on rehabilitation of ACL surgery with Candace Townley Cox, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and body movement expert at Evolution Physical Therapy. Today's discussion will center around tips and tricks to optimize outcomes and some common pitfalls that may hold patients back from a full recovery.We have some great articles for you that contribute well to our conversation on the surgical treatment of knee cartilage disease. As always, links to all of the papers that we discuss on this show can be found on our podcast website.The first article is a level 3 case-control study published in the October 2020 issue of OJSM, titled Anterior Knee Pain After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. Gustavo Constantino de Campos and his team in Sao Paulo, Brazil retrospectively reviewed the records of 438 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction. Anterior knee pain was reported in 6.2% of cases. Patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with a patellar tendon autograft were 3.4 times more likely to experience anterior knee pain. Also, patients who experienced an extension deficit in the post-op period were also more likely to experience anterior knee pain, with an odds-ratio of 5.3. The authors fund that anterior knee pain was not correlated with patient sex, age or surgical technique.We are joined today by Dr. Candace Townley Cox. Candace is a Colorado native who received her Bachelor's degree in Athletic Training at Nebraska Wesleyan University. Following undergrad Candace returned to Colorado as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer at Regis University in Denver. There, she earned her Master's degree in Sports Performance while working specifically with the Women's Volleyball and Softball teams. Candace continued her education at Regis University earning her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Since graduating Candace has spent countless hours in Sport Science Labs assessing movement quality, efficiency, as well as bone and muscle performance. As a movement expert, she is able to address the body's impairments both from a table assessment and from functional movement assessments.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I unpack the anatomical and pressure-based relationships between the liver, abdominal cavity, and pelvic floor through both a clinical case study and a deep dive into visceral anatomy. I share how restoring liver mobility changed a client's stress incontinence, core function, breathing mechanics, and lower body mobility.  You'll also hear why understanding pressure gradients and visceral relationships can completely shift the way you assess and treat the body.In This Episode, You'll Hear:How pelvic floor dysfunction is influenced by ribcage position, breathing mechanics, and abdominal pressureA detailed breakdown of the liver's anatomical connections to the diaphragm, abdominal wall, bladder, and pelvic floorHow visceral dysfunction can alter hip rotation, core control, and breathing mechanicsPractical ways to assess objective orthopedic changes when treating visceral or pelvic complaintsIf you've been treating pelvic floor dysfunction, core instability, or movement limitations without considering the visceral system, this episode may completely change the way you think about human movement and function.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 58: The Whole Organism Approach w/ Nicole CozeanEp. 150: A Clinical Case Study in Sacral Pain & Index of SuspicionFit + Fueled Life Podcast: Ep. 334 - What Your Injuries Are Trying to Tell You After 40 (& Why You're Not Healing)Pelvic PT Rising Podcast - Beyond The Obvious: An Interview with Anna HartmanLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming courses=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Tom Campbell speaks with Dr. Jacob Resch and Dr. John MacKnight (University of Virginia) about the recent publication, "Leveraging the Enhanced Sports as a Laboratory Assessment Model to Cross-Validate a Formula Used to Predict Clinical Recovery From Concussion in Collegiate Athletes".  This episode discusses a study that cross-validates a previously published prognostic formula for concussion recovery using the Enhanced SLAM point-of-care data model in collegiate athletes. Key predictors included total symptom severity and the 24-hour duration of drowsiness, neck pain, nervousness, and tingling; the findings emphasize clinical relevance, clinician–researcher collaboration, and using the formula as an adjunct to—not a replacement for—clinical judgment.

Ryan Hopkins has spent the last 15 years of his life exploring everything fitness and weightlifting related and, with the launch of SoHo Strength Lab in 2013, transitioned into the gym ownership aspect of the fitness world. Ryan began his deep dive into health and fitness as an Athletic Training major at the University of Central Florida, but his most significant learning was done outside of the classroom. Ryan separates himself from many fitness professionals because of his exposure to and comprehension of a wide variety of training methods and modalities. Ryan is constantly educating himself, applying what he learns in his training to "experience the individualities and peculiarities of each approach for every situation and circumstance." Over the past couple years one of  Ryan's many jobs has been working as a strength coach for a high school football team. Last season, his team went on to win the state championship in Florida.   https://theperformanceparadigm.com/  https://www.instagram.com/sslryan/   Check Out My Game Speed Course and Programs at www.multidirectionalpower.com

Care You Can Count On is the theme for National Athletic Training Month (NATM). AJ Duffy joins my UH MAT students to discuss the future of Athletic Training. This episode of the Sports Medicine Broadcast, hosted by Jeremy Jackson and joined by student medics Ben Stephenson, Caroline Hayes, and Katie Gibson, features NATA President AJ Duffy discussing the future of the Athletic Trainer profession and leadership. AJ Duffy‘s treasured memories from his Athletic Trainer career are not specific injury recoveries, but rather the lasting relationships built over 42 years with student-athletes, coaches, and colleagues. He stresses that these connections enhance the medical care provided, especially in embedded settings like military, performing arts, and athletic environments, where professionals may work with individuals for long periods. The Path to Leadership and NATA Membership Career Start: AJ Duffy‘s interest in becoming an Athletic Trainer began in high school and was cemented on a recruiting trip to the University of Michigan, where he was mentored by figures like Lindsey McLean, the “father of the certification exam”. First Leadership Role: His leadership journey started as a state liaison officer, where he initiated the creation of the first national directory of leaders in the profession due to the lack of an easy way to connect before the internet. He describes volunteerism and leadership in the NATA as a “vortex” that moves the profession forward. Value of NATA: Duffy explains that NATA membership is crucial for continuing education and, more importantly, professional advocacy. As an example of advocacy, he cited the NATA’s successful federal effort to prevent the suspension and eventually expand the Army’s holistic health program, which utilizes embedded Athletic Trainers. Additionally, the NATA establishes guidelines to enhance compensation and positions across all career sectors. Advice for Future Athletic Trainers International Career Pathways: For those seeking international opportunities, AJ Duffy noted that international athletic therapy is a growing field. Opportunities exist in places like Britain, Ireland, and Spain (which has two CAATE-approved programs). He advises new professionals to put in the “legwork” to find openings in various international sports and secondary schools. Focus and Communication: Duffy’s primary advice for young Athletic Trainers is to be a sponge, be unafraid, and put the phone down to stay focused on the conversation or the injured individual. He emphasized the critical nature of communication and having “conversations that matter,” noting two quotes: “Are you prepared to have a conversation that matters?” and “Buried feelings Never Die”. He encourages students to ask questions, but only at appropriate times, not during a critical moment like an injury evaluation.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I walk through a recent clinical case of mine involving a Navy SEAL BUD/S candidate who came in with persistent “back pain.” Once he pointed more specifically to the sacrum, the case immediately changed direction and led us down a very different path involving visceral drivers, kidney irritation, and neurovascular patterns.I share how location-specific questioning, structured assessment, and developing a strong index of suspicion can uncover connections between the viscera, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system that are easy to miss.In this episode, you'll hear:• Why sacral pain should immediately shift your clinical questioning• How kidney and urogenital organ irritation can refer pain to the sacrum and knee• How tools like the LTAP® fit into broader clinical reasoning and assessment• Why asking the right questions can completely change the direction of treatmentIf you're a health or movement professional interested in improving your diagnostic thinking and getting better outcomes with complex cases, this episode will help you refine how you assess presentations that don't follow the usual patterns.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 45: The Kidneys - Visceral Connections To MovementEp. 49: Pain On The SacrumEp. 147: Why Expectations Shape Clinical OutcomesKidney Regen SessionLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming courses

In this episode, Eric breaks down the critical difference between training for athletic performance and training for physique development — and why most former athletes struggle to look as good as they perform.Just because you train hard doesn't mean you're training correctly for your current goal.Eric explains how intent, tempo, exercise execution, and programming structure dramatically change results — even when the exercises look identical.Key Topics Covered:External performance goals vs internal muscle-building goalsWhy your squat produces different adaptations based on executionProgressive overload as the universal foundationExplosive work vs hypertrophy workStructuring sessions for strength and aestheticsHow to build a strong, lean, athletic “triple threat” physiqueGrip strength, pull-ups, and farmer's walksSix-day training splits and frequency misconceptionsWhat separates successful clients from those who stallGLP-1 drugs for small fat loss goals — when it makes sense and when it doesn'tWho This Episode Is For:Former athletes who still train like they're competingMen over 30 who are strong but don't look itHigh performers who want aesthetics without sacrificing performanceLifters stuck between “bodybuilder” and “athlete”Primary Takeaway:The exercise isn't the problem. The intent is.Train with clarity. Get strong. Adjust execution based on your goal. That's how you get both performance and physique.Apply for coaching: https://apps.bachperformance.com/apply

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I explore the anatomy and clinical significance of the popliteus — the small, often overlooked muscle that unlocks the knee and why it may be a missing link in lateral knee pain, shin splints, post-surgical inhibition, and chronic joint irritation. I share reflections from my own ACL-deficient knee during an 8 week plyometric intensive and how restoring dynamic confidence changed not just my performance, but my joint symptoms. We'll also explore how the popliteus interfaces with the fibula, meniscus, joint capsule, and even the SI joint and why treating it in isolation rarely creates lasting change.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the popliteus is central to unlocking knee flexion in closed-chain movementWhy this muscle becomes hypertonic after injury and why releasing it isn't enoughHow posterior capsule, fibular motion, and meniscal connections influence knee painPractical ways to combine manual therapy and yielding plyometrics for better outcomesIf you've ever wondered why the popliteus keeps “tightening back up,” this episode will help you understand what it's protecting and how to work with it instead of against it.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 8: Unlocking The FibulaEp. 21: Easily Restore Knee Extension After Injury or SurgeryEp. 25: The Peripheral HeartEp. 78: Easily Restore Knee Flexion After Injury or SurgeryEp. 79: The Deeper Impact of Plyometrics w/ Matt McInnes WatsonEp. 138: The Link Between Potassium and Shin SplintsSquat Warmup VideoTutorial to Improve Knee Flexion VideoBook I Mentioned: New Manual Articular Approach: Lower Extremity by Jean-Pierre Barral & Alain CroibierSign Up For A Barral Institute Course (Tell them Anna Hartman sent you!)Learn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Why Progressive Overload Is the Missing Link in Rehab with Dr. Todd RiddleThere's a big difference between learning a technique…and understanding a system.In today's episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the FAKTR rehab methodology — not the marketing version, not the surface-level explanation — but the actual framework that drives how we assess, load, and progress patients.In Part 1 of this two-part series, Dr. Todd Riddle — our Director of Education — breaks down:The evolution of FAKTR from technique-based roots to a full rehabilitation continuumWhy progressive overload is the missing link in most rehab programsThe difference between treating a condition… and treating a personAnd how static, motion, resistance, function, and performance fit together inside the FAKTR systemYou'll also hear why we believe pain during exercise isn't automatically the enemy — and how to clinically differentiate between “injured” and simply “sensitive.”If you've taken a FAKTR course before, this will deepen your understanding.If you haven't, this will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how the system actually works.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I discuss the spiral fascial line not as something to memorize, but as a lens to better understand human movement and efficiency.You'll hear how the spiral line influenced the name MovementREV, how it shows up repeatedly in LTAP® findings, and why freeing up rotation can transform gait, balance, and efficiency.In this episode, you'll hear:What the spiral line actually connects and why it matters clinicallyHow the spiral line supports gait and whole-body efficiencyHow pelvic floor and diaphragm stiffness limit spiral expressionI hope this episode helps you recognize the spiral line and rotation as a foundational movement pattern, one that can clarify recurring clinical findings and elevate your outcomes with greater precision.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Episode 8: Unlocking The FibulaEpisode 26: Sartorius B.I.G.Episode 44: Using Weight Shifting To Improve Movement PatternsEpisode 73: The Sartorius: It's More Powerful Than You ThinkEpisode 145: 5 Treatment Areas That Consistently Improve OutcomesLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share a candid look at expectations in clinical practice, especially after learning a new framework like the LTAP®. I break down why early wins can create unrealistic internal pressure, how I think about my 1-3 session benchmark, and why managing patient expectations is often the missing piece in overcoming imposter syndrome. I also walk through a real case example of a Navy SEAL BUD/S candidate to show how I decide when to adjust the plan, refer out, or stay the course.In this episode, you'll hear:What “guaranteeing results” really means and what it doesn'tWhy mismatching assessment precision with treatment precision can worsen outcomesHow expectations (yours vs. your patient's) shape confidence and resultsThe six questions that dramatically improve clarity, buy-in, and clinical directionIf you're a clinician who wants better results without burning yourself out or second-guessing every session, this episode will sharpen your reasoning and steady your confidence.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 119: Guaranteeing Results...

Those who hope to honor God and advance Jesus' Kingdom face powerful opposition from spiritual, physical, and psychological enemies. Successful launching and long term fruitfulness depends on recognizing and, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, waging war against those enemies.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I explore why the femoral neck can be uniquely resistant to change and why this often has less to do with exercise selection and more to do with blood flow and neurovascular entrapment. A simple case study question opens into a deeper look at pelvic anatomy, vascular supply, and how circulation drives bone remodeling.I break down the arterial anatomy of the hip, identify common neurovascular entrapment sites that limit blood flow to the femoral neck, & explain why checking distal pulses may be the assessment you're missing. I also unpack the relationship between pelvic floor tone & inhibited blood flow to the hip joint and how addressing it can change femoral neck response.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 9: Left Side Sciatica or Right Side Shoulder Pain?Ep. 75: The Colon ConnectionInfo from the handout I mentioned- Femoral Neck Vascular Anatomy: Hip Joint Anatomy Article (pages 7-8) & Blood Supply to Head of Femur (slides 2-7)- Vascular Entrapment Areas: Iliopectineal ligament and inguinal ligament, pectins/iliopsoas, quadratus femoris, sartorius, proximal rectus femoris- General Pelvic Congestion: Episode 49 - Pain on the Sacrum- Practical Treatment Area: Hip Flexor Release & Obturator Canal- Practical Treatment Area: Posterior Inferior Pelvic floor Mobility- Practical Treatment Area: Obturator nerve glide- Practical Treatment Area: Adductor hiatus / distal sartorius soft tissue mobilization - decompression with flexible cup or self massage - Practical Treatment Area: Hip Medial Glide- Practical Treatment Area: Prone supported frog stretchTools To Support These Treatments- Soft Ball for Self-Massage* & Flexible Cups*Learn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming courses*This link is an Amazon affiliate link, meaning I earn a commission from any qualifying purchases that you makeConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Shelby Baez speaks with Dr. Brett Pexa (High Point University) about the recent publication, "Throwing Load Does Not Affect Musculoskeletal Measures Around Competitive Pitching in Adolescent Baseball Pitchers".  This episode explores a study testing whether external load (pitch count), internal load (RPE), or their product (ARM PE) predict changes in shoulder and elbow musculoskeletal measures in adolescent baseball pitchers. Researchers measured range of motion, shoulder strength, and infraspinatus ultrasound before and after pitching and found no consistent correlation between loading metrics and the observed musculoskeletal changes. Key takeaways: pitch counts alone may not reflect total arm load; clinicians should consider total shoulder actions and monitor ROM and strength to assess recovery and injury risk.   Article: https://doi.org/10.4085/1062-6050-0052.25

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Kara Radzak speaks with Dr. Dana Golden about her recent publication, "Gait Biomechanics Among Female Endurance Runners: Comparing Days With and Without Menstrual Cycle–Related Symptoms".  The study used RunScribe wearables and daily symptom surveys and found no significant differences in gait mechanics between symptomatic and asymptomatic days, though runners logged fewer runs on symptomatic days. Dr. Golden explains practical implications for athletic trainers—normalizing symptoms, offering reassurance, and using accessible wearable tech to monitor athletes in real-world settings.   Article: https://doi.org/10.4085/1062-6050-0634.24  

After more than 20 years in practice, I've noticed there are certain treatment areas that consistently create change across a wide range of complaints. The key isn't the technique but understanding why these areas matter and when to address them.In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share five treatment regions I find myself coming back to again and again across elite athletes, Navy SEAL candidates, and complex cases. These are high-payoff regions that consistently influence the body as a whole when addressed with intention.In this episode, you'll learn:How nerve pathways and fascial relationships explain why these areas matter far beyond local painWhy sequencing matters more than the tool you're usingHow to apply these concepts without overcomplicating your sessionsThis episode isn't about adding more techniques, it's about sharpening your ability to recognize the areas that matter most in each session.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Episode 9: Left Side Sciatica or Right Side Shoulder Pain?Episode 26: Sartorius B.I.G.Episode 28: The Power Of The Trigeminal NerveEpisode 70: How The Trigeminal Nerve Could Supercharge Your PracticeEpisode 73: The Sartorius: It's More Powerful Than You ThinkEpisode 86: Decoding The Nervous System For Health Pros Episode 142: The Most Overlooked Skill In Clinical PracticeTreatment Video: Superior Gluteal Nerve GlideTreatment Video: Manual Technique For Superior Gluteal NerveTreatment Video: Neural Manipulation Technique For Superior Gluteal NerveOnline Course: Go-To Treatments For The Viscera & Nervous SystemLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.
